We offer teleprompter services nationwide. We are fully capable of resolving any technical problem should it ever arise. Our professional, experienced operators can fix or get a backup part or a whole new unit in no time.

Teleprompter Rental Technical Support

Tech support is often not considered as the renter usually assumes that every operator is also a skilled technician. While this is sometimes the case, we feel it should always be so. Most shoots are very simple and straightforward. And when everything is going well, virtually any competent operator can handle things, but when it doesn’t go well, you need to have someone on the case to get your shoot back on track with minimal lost production time.Technology seems to change with the speed of light. You deserve a company with professional operators capable of addressing tech issues immediately so you can get back to work.It bears repeating, we are a company, not an individual owner-operator, so if the operator in the field can’t solve a problem, he/she can call our backup crew.

We supply a pair of extra heavy duty batteries to power the prompter monitor and additional backup batteries for the operator’s laptop.Our battery-powered prompters feature high bright monitors for maximum visibility in daylight. However, as with any monitor, care must be taken so that direct sunlight does not fall on the screen. In extreme conditions, a “C-stand” and flag from the grip department may be used to shield the prompter. Or if possible just positioning the unit away from the sun may solve the problem.

Hello Parm and Elle- just letting you know that everything went well with the Global Citizen Awards on Tuesday. Thank you for accommodating us and I especially want to recognize the teleprompter operator that you assigned to our event, Zack Breheney. We had three dignitaries speaking at our event, including two world leaders and a member of royalty. Each speaker had a support team that were constantly pressing for top priority, making demands and changing the prompter set up. It was nonstop. I was astounded at the patience that Zack demonstrated and his ability to calmly work through every challenge that he faced. Zack would no sooner get one group placated before the other two would come at him again. I don’t know how he held it together but he did and never once showed any sign frustration. It was a magnificent performance.Several times in the days leading up to the event I called Zack directly to work out some details. He responded immediately, listened to my concerns and was able to offer solutions, options and most of all reassurance. You are fortunate to have such a dedicated, focused individual on your team.Thank you again for your help, we are a truly satisfied customer.Eddie Munden | Manager, AV and Technical Production1030 15th Street, NW, 12th Floor | Washington, DC 20005T: 1.202.778.4989 | C: 1.202.527-0575 | E: [email protected]

Top Ten Teleprompter Tips

1. It is the speaker, not the operator, that sets the speed of the prompter

Our prompter operators are trained to keep pace with the talent. The idea is that the speaker can concentrate on delivery not memorization. He/she needs not think about pacing. They should just try and relax and speak at a normal pace. The operator will follow. When the speaker pauses, the operator will pause also.

2. Talk to the operator.

Should there be something that you would like changed in the text just let your prompter technician know. He/she can edit the copy immediately on the laptop. The type can be made larger or smaller. Should you wish, the operator can spell hard to pronounce words phonetically or abbreviate them. The operator is there to help you!

3. Be as natural as possible.

It’s not easy, but it really helps the speaker seem more believable if he/she uses a conversational tone. It is a widely held belief that most people have a fear of speaking in public. By adopting a natural tone and relaxed stance you convey a sense of power and mastery of your subject.

4. Know your material.

The more time you spend going over your copy, the more natural you’re going to appear to the audience. This lets you use the Prompter as a safety net instead of relying on following it for every single word. Just glance at the script when you need to and look at your audience when you feel confident with the text.

5. Project energy.

Naturally, there are some somber topics that require you to assume a subdued tone. However, as a general rule the more energy you can manage to project, the more you will connect with and influence your audience. This is especially true when you are speaking directly to the camera. It actually appears to tone down your energy level, so by being more upbeat than might feel natural is actually a good thing. Trust me, the camera loves it.

6. Speak directly into the lens.

When using a camera mounted prompter, you’ll want your talent to maintain eye contact with the lens, which is just behind the glass. In order to facilitate this, the prompter operator will indicate where the cue point is in order to keep pace with the speaker. Generally, this will be in the center of the glass, and not at the top. That way they can keep the eye-line directly in front of the lens.

7. Practice really makes a big difference.

Even if your speaker is experienced at reading from a prompter, it makes good sense to arrange for as much rehearsal time as possible. It pays to have your talent and operator have the time to get in sync. They can try different type sizes, font styles and colors, and format the text for greater legibility.

8. Choose the best prompter size.

This reminds me of Goldilocks. The screen size needs to be not too big, not too small, but just right. Too big and it results in the reader’s eyes seeming to move back and forth as in a tennis match. Too small and the talent will squint at the camera. It has to be just right!

9. Try your best to relax.

The prompter is there to make your life easier. It removes the burden of trying to memorize all that copy and lets you concentrate on communicating in the most effective way possible.

10 Have Fun.

Be confident and take time to breathe deeply. If you “ad lib” or stray form the script, no problem, the prompter will help you resume where you left off!

Remember that using a Teleprompter is much easier than trying to memorize all that copy.
